Implant Dentistry
There is never a better time to get into the field of implant dentistry. Dental implant placement is exciting, profitable, and beneficial to patients but can be intimidating, scary, and confusing.
Decades ago, only oral maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists performed the vast majority of dental implant surgeries. Today, with advances in digital dentistry and the availability of Cone Beam CT scans, dental implants are now mostly placed by general dentists. By following the case from start to finish, the general dentist has more control over the position of the implant and outcome of the whole treatment. Patients will love the convenience of having all treatment done in the same office without having to go back and forth between the specialist and their general dentist. Compared with other dental services, implant dentistry will bring in a higher profit margin with less control from an HMO or PPO.
You can start with doing only 10–20% of implant cases in-house, referring out the complicated ones to the specialist. As your skills grow, you can perform more complicated cases and be able to keep more cases at your practice. Even on the cases that you refer out, you will still be the doctor who works on the case later, so you still get the profit from those cases as well.
If you’re considering adding implant dentistry and don’t know where to start, then we would love to have you join a course at Seattle Implant Institute. We will provide you with all the knowledge and skills you need to get started. And our course does not stop after instruction ends. Our goal is being able to help more and more general dentists enter the exciting field of implant dentistry.
